Teacher: CrochetKim (http://www.crochetville.org/forum/member.php?u=1925) (Kim Guzman), CrochetKim website (http://www.crochetkim.com/)
Class Cost: $10.00
Registration Dates: Registration is now open. Click here (http://www.crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?t=61284) for details on how to register for classes.
Class Begins: Friday, July 10, 2009
Skill Level: Beginner--Student should be comfortable with single crochet.
Description: Learn a special lace stitch pattern in Tunisian crochet to form a beautiful lacy afghan. Students are welcome and encouraged to use the same lace stitch pattern in other projects, such as a scarf or shawl, should they be interested in something other than an afghan.
The stitches and stitch pattern used have been designed to rid you of that annoying curling that is so easily found when learning Tunisian crochet. Like my Tunisian Pillows class, I'll show you yet another way to avoid that curl!
Two separate texts will be posted on the first day of class. The first will be an individual tutorial for the stitches. The second will be the pattern itself. (Yes, a full pattern designed by Kim Guzman will be included in your class fee!)

Supplies Needed:
The pattern uses Patons Decor which is an acrylic/wool blend. Worsted weight is recommended, although I would definitely consider this to be a smaller worsted. Something more the size of Caron Simply Soft. The afghan is made in all one color, although I'm sure stripes would look nice as well.
An afghan hook two or three sizes larger than the recommended size for your yarn. For instance, with Red Heart Super Saver, I usually use an H or I hook. However, when I'm using Red Heart Super Saver for Tunisian work, I will use a J or a K. Since you'll be making an afghan, you'll want one of the 14" afghan hooks (rather than the 10" hook) or you can also get one with an extension nylon to accommodate the Tunisian loops.
A regular crochet hook in the size recommended for your yarn.
